Hi

I have this friend (NO REALLY!) who is having issue with her ebay
account being compromised. She's changed her password details and
assures me that password is very random and hard to guess; I tend to
trust her on this.

Naturally I am beginning to wonder about remote access software...

She is running a dial-up AOL account, with their firewall and
anti-spyware. I have no experience with AOL, and I'd be interested in
people's opinions regarding their 'in house' products. Would people
advocate, and indeed is it possible, to run something like ZA rather
than the AOL product?
